Updated Graduation Information

To: EHS seniors, parents, guardians, and staff

Re: Graduation Ceremony on Saturday

EHS graduation ceremony will be held in the auditorium on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 10:00 am. Doors will open to the public at 9:00 am at the main entrance to the high school. We decided to move it indoors due to the weather forecast of cold, stormy weather. We appreciate your cooperation as we make this change. The ceremony will be professional and a great event to celebrate our graduating seniors.
The lower section of the auditorium will require a ticket, which will be given to the graduates today. The upper level is open seating, first-come, first-served. The seminar room will be open for overflow seating.
Mylocalradio is broadcasting the event. It will be live-streamed. We want to thank them for doing this and for their support.
Those needing wheelchair assistance will enter the main entrance at the school, and a staff member will help you get to your seat.
Please call the high school at 789-0757 if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Very Important Graduation Information

Re: Graduation Ceremony on Saturday

We have been laboring over the EHS graduation ceremony and if we should have it outside or inside. The weather models are showing a cold, stormy morning on Saturday. We have made the decision to start prepping for graduation in the auditorium at the high school. We are going to check one more time in the morning (Friday) to see if there is any change and make our final decision. At that time, we will send confirmation of our decision, then send out the info that is needed for the ceremony.
Thank you for your understanding. I am sorry for the unknown nature of this. We are proud of our seniors and will do everything we can to ensure a dignified ceremony and make sure that families have all the information needed to make this a great experience. We will follow up with our final decision in the morning.
